The founder’s professional experience
The founder took a first programming course at the Olivetti centre in Mestre (Venice) in 1987. He began his career as a programmer in large data processing centres built on IBM systems (so-called mainframes). As an employee of external software companies, he worked on-site at companies such as Benetton, De Longhi, Costan and Cassa di Risparmio di Padova e Rovigo.
He then worked mainly in banking and insurance, in the roles of programmer, analyst-programmer, analyst, project manager and IT manager. In parallel, since the early 1990s, he has built IT solutions for professionals and small businesses, tailored to their needs.
